3 Actresses Up for the Lead Female Role in Lucasfilm's HAN SOLO Film
Lucasfilm and directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller have been meeting with actresses to take on the lead female role in the upcoming Han Solo film. According to Variety, Tessa Thompson (Selma, Creed), Naomi Scott (Power Rangers), and Zoe Kravitz (Mad Max: Fury Road, X-Men) are on the top of the list and they recently tested for the role in London.
They are also looking at actors to take on the role of Lando Calrissian. It was previously rumored that Donald Glover was their top choice for that role, but apparently no deal has been made yet. According to the report, Disney and Lucasfilm wanted to do a second round of tests to be certain that they make the right decision.
According to inside sources, it will be a couple more weeks before a decision is made on this casting. Whoever ends up being cast, they will join Alden Ehrenreich, who will be taking on the role of Solo. He has big shoes to fill, but I think he'll be able to pull it off. From what I've seen, the guy is very talented.
As for the lead female role, Thompson and Kravitz are both solid actors. I'm not really familiar with Scott, so it's hard to tell. Whoever they end up casting in the role, I'm confident that Lucasfilm and the directors will make the best choice because they know what they want!
